Equip yourself as you like and show off to your friends!

Skins


As for now, there are only 2 survivor characters and killers were struggling with the recognition of which is who. To counter this effect, skins were added, as well as tons of ways to win them!


Jump into the Darkness and check out how you can win your style!


Item Skins


Besides being able to express your style and flex your skins in the Lobbies, item skins were also added so you can enjoy your first-person horrifying scares even harder!

Don't miss out on the super-rare Zippo lighter!






Spend your Money!


Finally there's a way to spend your well-earned Bucks in-game!
The shop is still under construction, but you can buy and equip items before the game starts to get that slight advantage, right off the bat!





Loot Chests


Chests are the best way you have to get your desired skins and, if you are lucky, win the lottery (1,000,000 Bucks)!
You earn Chests every 5 levels as well as 1 for your first game (so you have the chance to escape from the clone matrix of non-customized survivors).
You can also buy Chests if you wish or wait for the Skirmish Rewards!





Skirmish


Skirmish is the new system to provide you with rewards as you progress initially!
By earning in-game Experience, you also earn Skirmish Experience. Every level of Skirmish gives you a designated rewards (which you can check out in-game right now!).
Rewards vary between clothes, masks, item skins, items, money and chests!

- Lots of slight lighting changes and performance improvements;
- Improved AI decision making;

Spooky Update - Map (NEW!!)



Here it is! The much requested map!

New Survivors have been struggling not to get lost inside the Mansion and many have asked to add a minimap.
As this is a spooky scary game, I didn't want to make things too easy for them!

Here's how it works:

  1. Press [M] to bring up the map and try to understand where you are.
  2. Player's don't show up in the map blueprint but you can figure out which way you are going with the compass on the top-right side.
  3. All static objectives are shown in the map besides generators (which spawn in different locations each match).




Lighting Update


- Reduced lighting on some animations so the players don't glow that much and u can see their scared faces!
- improved light on the killing animation so you can see your heart being ripped out even better!
- General mansion lighting optimizations.
- More eye-flashy lights!



Christmas is over but the Spirit is still here



Jessabelle is still prowling around to hunt you down!

She's sad because she doesn't see her family in many many years. Xmas is over but she decided to lure her prey with some additional stuff:
- Xmas Fire Extinguisher is still here for Survivors to mess around with snow.
- Reduction in number of presents scattered across the map.
- The creepy old clock spawns even less times now.
- Removed a few Xmas decorations.
- Removed the Xmas tree on the lobby.


Tutorial Fixes


- Added a light for easier understanding on where to go after retrieving the video tape (Objective 3).
- Killer tutorial disconnecting fixed.
- Bug preventing killer tutorial from finishing the killer's tutorial after killing the last Survivor alive.


General Bug Fixes


- Possession Jumpscare would sometimes slow Jessabelle longer than it should.
- Bots sometimes failing to work on generators fixed.
- Bots increased lighting capabilities and a cute lighter has been added to them :)
- Incorrect Sound Spatialization fix.
- Bug that sometimes made the killer disconnect after killing all her friends in the lobby.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes a hiding closet would become rigged twice if the killer entered it and scared a player inside.
- Minor bug fixed & tweaks!



Enjoy the Jumpscares!
Let's embrace the spookiness together,
Dipsi

Thank you all for reading and playing the game <3

Extended Christmas - Bug Fixes

Christmas was extended until I stop seeing snow,
out of my window :)



Xmas Snowball Launcher
- Snowball Launcher is still in the game for you to have fun playing around with the snow (and will still be for a long time)!


Xmas Presents
- Presents are still in the game, but someone has stolen half of them!
- You can still find a few presents throughout the map. Trap them as a killer and Search them as a survivor to get a chance of receiving the Snowball Launcher!


Creepy Old Clock
- Creepy Old Clock now spawns less times so it doesn't annoy players that much, but it's still present out there.
Take care!


Xmas Lights
- Reduced the number of Xmas lights & overall decorations. Don't worry tho! It still feels like Christmas time!
- Kept the Xmas lights decorations on Objectives so it's easier for people to find and complete them as well as find exit gates easier.


Video Settings
- Added a Reset button to reset your Video Settings.
- Removed Save button and now it saves automatically in every change you make on your Options.


Bug Fixes
- Video Settings were not saving a few options;

Death's Playground Xmas Sales - Extra Jumpscares

You are cosy and bored inside your warm house while it's snowing outside: Is there anything better to do than to annoy your friends?

Grab the discount and bring your friends over so you can plot your evil plan to scare them however you wish!

The Xmas Extra Jumpscares Event runs from December 22 - January 15.



What's New?


- Xmas Fire Extinguisher -



Shoots snow all around creating messy pools of snow that make noise whenever anyone walks over them, leaving some footprints afterwards, that melt over time.

This is a great way to know when the killer is approaching as the killer doesn't make any noise while walking, unless they're stepping on some snow.

Creepy Time - If you see footprints coming towards you and there isn't a physical body over them, I advise you to RUN THE HECK OUTTA YOUR STAMINA!



- Christmas Presents -



Everyone loves to be surprised on Christmas time with the amazing presents everyone gives to each other. I decided to give you a present as well (actually more than 1)!

Open up every present you find in-game to have a chance to get a good item, a weapon or the Xmas Fire Extinguisher, but be aware! The presents can be trapped by the killer to give you a jumpscare instead!




Snowy Theme


Lots of snow outside and some symbolic winter stuff happening around like snow falling from the sky, Christmas lights & decorations all over the mansion, Christmas trees and hanging lights for a more beautiful season and a creepy clock!

- Map Update -





- Objectives Clarity -





- Escape Doors -




- Pay Attention To The Time! -


Be aware of the creepy old clock that spawns behind you and starts playing a distorted Christmas song. Why? No one knows!




Additional Stuff


- XP Boost -


The experience boost will help you to level up your characters faster so, you can try out powerful different combinations of skills to experiment with new playstyles for each character!

- Easter Eggs -




A fine new ammount of Easter Eggs, some related to the Christmas season, some others just for the sake of it!
Enjoy finding the newly placed Easter Eggs and try to find out where they are from!
Also, rats are wearing cute Christmas Hats :)





A special thanks for everyone who helped in the development and playtest of this indie game!
I am grateful for all the love and support you are giving me to pursue this crazy adventure to create a scary playground for all you psychos! ;)

Awaiting your feedback <3
